Oh how I loved this! Every story is so beautiful and perfectly captures the season it represents! Some feature familiar faces, some are brand new, all are just magical.
Seasons (Brittany Eden) - The lovely and lyrical story of a lamppost and the lives he witnesses. It's a flash fiction, so it's short, but it's perfectly bite-sized, and so powerful.
Spring of the Living Dead (Beka Gremikova) - I love a happy modern Hades and Persephone story, I just do. Add to this one cranky ghosts, an overbearing mother, and a motorcycle, and it's such a fun time.
This Summer Moment (Savanna Roberts) - I adore Roberts' "Tales of Nottingham" series, and Jon and Ambrosia are two of my favorite characters from it, so this was everything. It's definitely one that can be enjoyed regardless of your familiarity with the original series; think of it as a prequel, then decide you're in love with these characters and go read their continuing adventures, m'kay? xD
Of Pumpkins and Golden Apples (Hannah Carter) - Two more familiar faces that I absolutely love, Haddie and Percy are back and as chaotic as ever! Even if you didn't meet these two in the "Whispers From Before" anthology, they're so much fun, especially with Halloween as a backdrop!
A Lily in Winter (Rachel N. Miller) - Oh, this one. This one got me. I teared up at the end. An exploration of love and death and grief, I loved it so much.
I'm so glad I loved this collection so much. I've already read from several of these authors, but I'm eager to read more! Five stars from me!
